Customer Question

I live in a property that is owned by a trust, and can live in the property until my death, it was bought for me to live in with my children as part of a divorce settlement, it will never belong to me and the there are several trustees one of which is my X father-in-law. The trust is ment to maintain the property but I continually struggle to get things done as far as maintaining it, they are responsible for maintaining utilities and I gave had to pay for alit of work to be done on the plumbing what are my legal rights about getting my money back from maintenance bills that they should have paid? I had to put a new hot water system in and have had to have the downstairs loo taken out because of ongoing problems and they refuse to pay me for emergency work that needed to be carried out. Kind regards Rachel
